What is the advantage of using Dutch clips vs. choking the tree by threading the webbing through it's sewn loop end? This is the way I do- it down to the spike hitch, then whoopie sling.

If you're just threading a tree strap, one end through the other, the way you describe then the biner/dc in that spot saves almost zero time, however if you're using a continuous suspension (like the adj webbing suspension, cinch buckles, rings etc), you'd have to remove the webbing from the buckles, then thread 10+ feet through the loop, and re-thread the buckles. In this case, a biner/dc would save alot of time. For a tree-straps-with-seperate whoopies system, i don't see the point, threading one end through the other is just as fast and easy IMO.
